Among the
Weeds

David K.
Anderson, Rose Z Vine, Moose

If you
fell down the rabbit hole and happened
upon a concert held in the royal hall of
some neverland, neverwhere, neverwas;
this is the band you
would find performing. The musical
inspiration of Among the
Weeds is comprised of many
elements, but the basic idea was to borrow
the best of the past and combine it with
new ideas to create something not
necessarily limited by genre or aesthetic.
Innovative and complex muses surge beneath
the surface. With obvious echoes of a
range of electronic music from decades
past, they still stand out as their own
sound in their own time. It may be true
that many of the elements presented in
Among the
Weeds can be heard in other
places...but how can borrowing the best of
all great things be bad?

The band
began as a solo project of the founder,
Rose Z. Vine, when she ended up bored and
isolated in a small town in 2005 with no
band and a limited amount of gear. It went
through many different phases but the
introduction of Mike 'Moose' Best from the
band alaskahighway at the end of 2006
after her return to Los Angeles was the
most notable one. He added a depth and
complexity to what had been mostly drum
loops, simple synth lines and vocals. This
combination would be the first time the
project performed live; the debut being in
the middle of an alaskahighway
set at the (now defunct)
Barcode in Las Vegas. After a few
adjustments, including the addition of a
bassist and guitarist and a handful of
live shows in LA, the band relocated from
Los Angeles, California to Portland,
Oregon in 2008; a short time later
releasing their debut album
frail tin
beauty in 2009. There were a few
bumps and bruises along the way as they
grew and the project gradually evolved
into what it is today; rounded out by the
addition of David K. Anderson, formerly of
Written in
Ashes and Luna's
Ceiling. The trio released the
follow up album Temple of the
Machine in 2011.

So, fall
down the rabbit hole, take the
red pill and slip into the world
of the nether, the ether and the spirit.
Let Among the
Weeds be the soundtrack on your
journey and hold on tight. Should
Among the
Weeds appear at a venue near you,
do not be late. You have a very, very
important date.
